Time of Emptying Tank through Orifice at Bottom Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Time Taken = (2*Area of Tank*((sqrt(Initial Height of Liquid))-(sqrt(Final Height of Liquid))))/(Coefficient of Discharge*Area of Orifice*sqrt(2*9.81))
t_total = (2*A_T*((sqrt(H_i))-(sqrt(H_f))))/(C_d*a*sqrt(2*9.81))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 6 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Initial Height of Liquid - (Measured in Meter) - The Initial height of liquid is a variable from the tank emptying through an orifice at its bottom.
Final Height of Liquid - (Measured in Meter) - The Final height of liquid is a variable from the tank emptying through an orifice at its bottom.
Coefficient of Discharge - The Coefficient of Discharge or efflux coefficient is the ratio of the actual discharge to the theoretical discharge.
Area of Orifice - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Area of Orifice is often a pipe or tube of varying cross-sectional area, and it can be used to direct or modify the flow of a fluid (liquid or gas).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Area of Tank: 1144 Square Meter --> 1144 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Initial Height of Liquid: 24 Meter --> 24 Meter No Conversion Required
Final Height of Liquid: 20.1 Meter --> 20.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Discharge: 0.87 --> No Conversion Required
Area of Orifice: 9.1 Square Meter --> 9.1 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_total = (2*A_T*((sqrt(H_i))-(sqrt(H_f))))/(C_d*a*sqrt(2*9.81)) --> (2*1144*((sqrt(24))-(sqrt(20.1))))/(0.87*9.1*sqrt(2*9.81))

Evaluating ... ...

t_total = 27.1207693880146

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

27.1207693880146 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

27.1207693880146 ≈ 27.12077 Second <-- Total Time Taken

What is coefficient of discharge?

The coefficient of discharge is defined as the ratio of the actual discharge from an orifice to the theoretical discharge from the orifice.

What is an orifice?

The orifice is defined as the small opening on the side or bottom of a tank through which any kind of fluid is flowing. The opening can be circular, triangular, or rectangular in cross-section and they are named on the basis of shape accordingly.

How to Calculate Time of Emptying Tank through Orifice at Bottom?
